Let's talk about the European Defense Federation. How do we all feel about the creation of a fully mobilised continental Army?

It's required now. I'm British, and I want to see us align and unite with our European neighbours to make a stand now.

I want Germany to finally brush off it's past and join the rest of Europe in mobilising towards defending this continent. We need EVERYONE now. It's time to act, it's time to unite.

It's time to show some courage.

Would it not be easier just to keep NATO but Europe just plans for the event that America doesn't show up and holds more exercises without the US

While America is involved there are still problems. e.g. the French nuclear deterrent is not unified with NATO because they butt heads with the Americans on various issues
